Cohn described Rae as an 'incredible force of a woman,' and took the opportunity to send her son, Larry Strauss, as well as the rest of the family, the 'happiest of homecomings.'

Comedian Larry Wilmore also paid tribute to the late 92-year-old by posting an episode of The Facts of Life, which, according to him, was his first television gig.

Kathy Griffin and Gilbert Gottfried posted the same photo of Rae in her memory, while Audra McDonald opted to remember everything that made the actress special.

The Broadway star wrote that Rae was a 'sweet, funny, wise, lovely and brilliant,' woman and that she would be missed

92-year-old Rae revealed that she had been diagnosed with bone cancer in 2017, just seven years after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, from which she was able to recover after six months of chemotherapy.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Rae wanted people to celebrate every day, 'to savor the day' and be good to themselves and to others. That was the late actress' way of life - kindness and love.
